As an alternative you can get a sim with decent speed, use phone, or wireless router. depends what you use internet for, usage and speeds required. I use AIS and DTAC sims in the condo
So you were happy to waste your time and your witnesses time and buy them off with gifts, fine, i hope you enjoy the benefit when you renew your driving licence every 5 years, wow 300 baht saved for residence cert
Sounds like you are making a big issue out of it leading to anxiety which makes the problem worse, vicious cycle.
Maybe don't make a big deal, in fact make it a small deal, relax about it, if tired ok, you'll catch up eventually
maybe year, not sure, time factor here is 2X or more. Thing is like all these road construction projects, once they dig the holes they walk away and on a go slow, juggling multiple projects, blame City Hall again
Yellow books are too much trouble for many, Pattaya City Hall as an example have a ridiculous list of requirements including dragging 2 Thais to the office who are in a blue book.
One reason for being difficult is they are pushing you to an agent who wants circ 5k.
I decided not to bother, life is too short. Property tax is very small anyway
That's ridiculous, presumably you don't ride a motorbike. A car around central Pattaya for example would be mostly useless often stuck in traffic while motorbikes are able to go anywhere
If you look at rental values, very low compared with market price so payback wouldn't be 15 years but far longer.
A renter of motorbikes seems to get a much higher return, Click costs 55k, monthly rent 2k, Condo 1m+ rent 4-6k
